Different Types of Mail Forwarding

Every time we move or work from different locations we need our mail delivered to different places. If we have changed our address for only a temporary period of time or if we have moved for just a season, we would not want our mail piling up in our other address. To solve this problem, there are mail forwarding services. They forward our mail to any part of the world for however long we want.

Here are the different types of mail forwarding services:

If the change of address is permanent, then we need permanent mail forwarding. We need to begin by notifying the post office. The change of address form for has to be filled. It is found in the post office and online as well. On the form the old address, new address and the date from which the mail has to be forwarded is also filled. Once this process is complete, when the mail arrives, the post office will hold on to it instead of sending it out immediately. The post office will then readdress our mails and send them to the new address. This will take a quite a bit of time.

If the change of address is just temporary, we can receive our mail at the new address just for the period we want. Temporary mail forwarding is just like permanent mail forwarding, only here the mail is forwarded until the date we mention on the application form. While filling the form, details like old address, new address, starting date from which the mail will be forwarded and the end date till when we require the mail to be forwarded is required. Usually, this service is available for up to one year only.

The temporary and permanent mail forwarding are done piece by piece. Our mails will be mailed separately. But if we wish to receive them together, there are some other mail forwarding services we can opt for. Premium mail forwarding service will collect all our mails for a certain period and mail it together. This will be done by the post office for a fee. The advantage with this mail forwarding is that, you can receive all types of mail like first class, periodicals and standard mail. This will also be faster as this uses priority mail service.
